Learning Log 5

After reading the booklet which is all about Unseen poems and prose, I learnt how to organise my answer, for example the PEEL method, which is simply just Point, Explain/Elaborate, Evidence/Example and last but not least, Link. The second thing which I have learnt is how to quote. An example is: " He almost seems friendly, as he 'grin'. 'neatly spreads his claws' and has 'gently smiling jaws'. " This is done by incorporating words or short phrases into the sentence with inverted commas. Lastly, there is Irony. There is two different types of ironies, there is the situational irony, the irony occurs when one expects least for it to happen, instead the opposite occurs. Next there is the Verbal irony, it is commonly used for sarcasm and expresses contradiction between what is said and what it actually means. The Verbal irony is used to create humour, to criticize and to add to sense of tragedy.
